ABOUT PRODUCTID 11175
The S 826 rocking chair, designed in 1971 by Ulrich Böhme for Thonet, exemplifies German modernism of the 1970s. Its construction is based on a bent, high-gloss chromed steel tube, shaped into two distinctive loops that serve as both the base and armrests. The seat and backrest form a single ergonomic shell, upholstered in a densely woven fabric with a bold, matte orange hue. The chair is free from visible joints, with a continuous sculptural silhouette and harmonious proportions—high backrest and deep seat ensure comfortable use. The chair is in excellent condition following professional restoration, with no signs of wear on either the upholstery or the chrome.The chair’s vivid form and saturated color evoke the spirit of early 1970s German modernism, when function and comfort merged with bold, energetic colors. This model, like a manifesto of its era, reflects a fascination with lightness, mobility, and the pursuit of everyday comfort. The chromed frame seems to flow through space, while the orange upholstery alludes to the optimistic mood of the decade—as if the chair invites a moment of relaxation, gently rocking in the rhythm of bygone years.The S 826 chair can be used in both modern, minimalist living rooms and eclectic collector’s interiors. It pairs well with geometric side tables, lighting with metallic accents, or neutral-toned rugs that enhance the vibrancy of the upholstery. It may be combined with other Thonet pieces or with mid-century design icons to emphasize the historical character of the space.
